processing service for lc 5.56 brass

[rebs]

I have 1300 once fired LC 5.56 all the same year date of 20. I would like to hear of processing services that you guys have used and recommend. These would be fired in a Tikka 223 bolt gun

I'd prep them myself in batches of 200.
FL size, swage pockets, trim, chamfer.

I do my own. Never used a "Processing" service.

Me too...enjoy doing it. But it's nice to get some.every now and then that somebody else had done...lol

I have arthritis and my hands cramp up after about 50 cases. I would rather pay someone to do it and avoid the pain.

Thanks Dusty, sent GotRDid, his processed 223/5.56 cases back, fully-processed. Unless something changes these will be the last small cases, I do for quite some time. Small cases are to hard on the hands (223/5.56, 300AAC) I don't have any of the fancy equipment, so doing one 223 case, is the same as doing a 300 Win Mag.
As rebs stated, arthritis may be coming, it's not here yet, but I can see it in a few of my finger joints.
But then again, I'd milk a Grizzly Sows teat, or put a condom on a rutting Musk Ox Bull, if the price were right.

Let's take up a collection just to see this.

I hear you! I can still do my own but some days the process is more taxing on me than others. You just need to do what you have to do. I fully understand!!

Try Loader Monkey LLC. He does a good business selling match quality ammo and in the past I think he offered bulk processing also.

Gorgon Stare has consistently delivered brass that exceeds even my own OCD Inner Child’s best efforts! Donnie is meticulous to a fault.
He is right, however, I get ganglial cysts on my tendons in my hands if I do the repetitive motions and gripping small diameter objects with any pressure. Residual effects of assembling Trucks and SUVs at the Ford Plant.
Bc’z is correct, by doing them in small lots and varying the motions required for each step does not fatigue a particular group of muscles, flexors, or tendons. This is my current process, and I recently completed a run of 1,200 M852 equivalent Handloads for my M1A using the “Small Batch” method. It took me a while, but the process is part of the joy of Handloading for me.
By the way Brett, speaking of “Small Batch”, the new Bulleitt Distillery is about 5 miles from my home, and the Visitor’s Center is open!
If a collection for any endeavor for Gorgon Stare is to be undertaken, I say we “Crowd Fund” a Giraud case trimmer for Donnie!
Then he can really pump out the casings for us all.

Not to worry GotRDid, the thought alone is comforting. You guys have done more than your fair share. Lets sit back and see how this year starts to unfold. Started doing some conversions, thanks to my annealer, except for the headstamp, you can't tell the 30-06 from a new 8mm Mauser.
Now to make some 7mm & 6.5mm Mauser's and I can move on to the next project.

Look around for used commercial brass or new brass. It's out there! I recently bought 2K virgin Lake City brass.
We're not quite there where it will come to spending a dollar to save a piece of brass but it's probably coming.
